Dan asked:


I filed for Chapter 7 in april ‘09 and had all my debts discharged. I recently applied for a FAFSA loan. At the end of the filing, the file said I might be eligible for a certain amount of pell grant money.

Will the bankruptcy have any bearing on whether or not I will get approved for either a loan or grant?

Can I fill bankruptcy on a student loan if it’s through a private company?

We were just notified that my husband’s student loans are delinquent. Long story. They are private student loans and most of them he took out before I met him. His father is the cosigner. The amount of money we have to pay back is over 100,000.00 and we are already a struggling one-income family. IF we were to look into bankruptcy, would the private loans automatically transfer to the co-signer like it would a mortgage? Or is there another way? I’d appreciate any tips.

CRYSTAL F asked:


I am filing for bankruptcy and I was wondering how this would affect my school. I just took out a student loan a couple of months ago and enrolled in college. My loan is not due until I graduate in 2 years. If I claim this in the bankruptcy will it affect me going to school?
